Ekoruhe 10
1 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Haere ki a Parao; kua whakapakeke hoki ahau i tona ngakau, i te ngakau hoki o ona tangata, kia whakakite ai ahau i enei tohu aku ki tona aroaro;
And the LORD said to Moses, Go in to Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants; that I might show these my signs before him:
2 Kia korero ai hoki koe ki nga taringa o tau tama, o te tama hoki a tau tama, i taku i mahi ai ki Ihipa, i aku tohu hoki i meatia e ahau i roto i a ratou; kia mohio ai koutou ko Ihowa ahau.
And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I [am] the LORD.
3 A haere ana a Mohi raua ko Arona ki a Parao, mea ana ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o nga Hiperu, Kia pehea te roa ou kahore nei e ngohengohe ki toku aroaro? Tukua taku iwi kia haere, kia mahi ki ahau.
And Moses and Aaron came in to Pharaoh, and said to him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? Let my people go, that they may serve me.
4 Ko tenei, ka kore koe e rongo ki te tuku i taku iwi, nana, apopo ahau kawe mai ai i te mawhitiwhiti ki tou rohe:
Else, if thou shalt refuse to let my people go, behold, to-morrow will I bring the locusts into thy border:
5 A e kapi i a ratou te mata o te whenua, e kore ano e ahei te kite i te whenua; a e kai ratou i nga toenga i mahue, i toe ma koutou i te whatu, e kai hoki ratou i nga rakau katoa e tupu ana ma koutou i te mara:
And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which hath escaped, which remaineth to you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field:
6 A e ki i a ratou ou whare, me nga whare o ou tangata katoa, me nga whare o nga Ihipiana katoa; he mea kihai nei i kitea e ou matua, e nga matua ranei o ou matua, o te ra iho ano i noho ai ratou ki te whenua a moroki noa nei. A tahuri ana ia, haer e atu ana i a Parao.
And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth to this day. And he turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh.
7 A ka mea nga tangata a Parao ki a ia, Kia pehea te roa o tenei tangata ka waiho nei hei rore ki a tatou? tukua nga tangata ki te mahi ki a Ihowa, ki to ratou Atua: kiano koe i mohio noa kua ngaro a Ihipa?
And Pharaoh's servants said to him, How long shall this man be a snare to us? Let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed?
8 Na ka whakahokia a Mohi raua ko Arona ki a Parao; a ka mea ia ki a raua, Haere, e mahi ki a Ihowa, ki to koutou Atua: ko wai ma oti e haere?
And Moses and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh: and he said to them, Go, serve the LORD your God: [but] who [are] they that shall go?
9 A ka mea a Mohi, E haere ra matou me a matou taitamariki, me o matou koroheke, me a matou tama, me a matou tamahine, e haere me a matou hipi, me a matou kau; he hakari hoki ta matou ki a Ihowa.
And Moses said, We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we [must hold] a feast to the LORD.
10 Na ka mea ia ki a raua, Kia pena te noho o Ihowa ki a koutou, me ahau ka tuku nei i a koutou me a koutou potiki: ma koutou e titiro; he kino hoki kei mua i a koutou.
And he said to them, Let the LORD be so with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones: look [to it]; for evil [is] before you.
11 Kahore ra hoki: haere e nga tane, e mahi ki a Ihowa; ko ta koutou hoki tena i whai na. A peia ana raua i te aroaro o Parao.
Not so: go now ye [that are] men, and serve the LORD; for that you desired. And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.
12 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Totoro atu tou ringaringa ki te whenua o Ihipa mo te mawhitiwhiti kia puta ki te whenua o Ihipa, ki te kai i nga otaota katoa o te whenua, i nga mea katoa i toe i te whatu.
And the LORD said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, [even] all that the hail hath left.
13 Na ka toro atu te tokotoko a Mohi ki runga i te whenua o Ihipa, a kua puta he hau i a Ihowa, he marangai, ki te whenua, a pau katoa taua rangi, pau katoa taua po; a huaki ake te ata, na, kua kawea mai nga mawhitiwhiti e te marangai:
And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and the LORD brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all [that] night: [and] when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
14 A puta ake ana te mawhitiwhiti ki te whenua katoa o Ihipa, a tau iho ki nga rohe katoa o Ihipa: he nanakia rawa; kahore he mawhitiwhiti o mua atu hei rite mo enei, e kore ano hoki e rite a muri ake nei.
And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the borders of Egypt: very grievous [were they]; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them will be such.
15 Ngaro ana hoki i a ratou te mata o te whenua katoa, pouri ana te whenua; a kainga ake e ratou nga otaota katoa o te whenua, me nga hua katoa o nga rakau i toe i te whatu: kihai i mahue tetahi tupu o nga rakau, o nga otaota ranei o te mara, i te whenua katoa o Ihipa.
For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they ate every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing on the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt.
16 Na ka hohoro a Parao te karanga ki a Mohi raua ko Arona ka mea, Kua hara ahau ki a Ihowa, ki to koutou Atua, ki a korua hoki.
Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against you.
17 Na, whakarerea toku hara, heoi rawa ano ko to tenei taima, a inoi ki a Ihowa, ki to koutou Atua, kia tangohia atu e ia ko tenei mate anake i ahau.
Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and entreat the LORD your God that he may take away from me this death only.
18 A mawehe ana ia i a Parao, inoi ana ki a Ihowa.
And he went out from Pharaoh, and entreated the LORD.
19 Na whakataka ana e Ihowa he hauauru nui rawa nana i kahaki atu nga mawhitiwhiti, i whiu ki te Moana Whero; kihai i toe tetahi mawhitiwhiti i nga rohe katoa o Ihipa.
And the LORD turned a mighty strong west wind which took away the locusts, and cast them into the Red sea: there remained not one locust in all the borders of Egypt.
20 Otiia whakapakeke ana a Ihowa i te ngakau o Parao, a kihai ia i tuku i nga tama a Iharaira.
But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go.
21 A ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Totoro ake tou ringaringa ki te rangi, kia whai pouri ai ki te whenua o Ihipa, he pouri e hakiri mai ana ki te ringa.
And the LORD said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand towards heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness [which] may be felt.
22 Na ka toro atu te ringa o Mohi ki te rangi, a kua pouri kerekere i te whenua katoa o Ihipa, e toru nga ra:
And Moses stretched forth his hand towards heaven: and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:
23 Kahore tetahi i kite i tetahi, kihai ano hoki i whakatika atu tetahi i tona wahi i nga ra e toru: tena ko nga tama a Iharaira, marama ana o ratou na nohoanga.
They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
24 Na ka karanga a Parao ki a Mohi, ka mea, Haere, e mahi ki a Ihowa; otiia me waiho a koutou hipi me a koutou kau: ko a koutou tamariki nonohi hoki me haere tahi i a koutou.
And Pharaoh called to Moses, and said, Go ye, serve the LORD; only let your flocks and your herds be stayed: let your little ones also go with you.
25 A ka mea a Mohi, Me homai ano e koe ki a matou he patunga tapu, he tahunga tinana, hei mahinga ma matou ki a Ihowa, ki to matou Atua.
And Moses said, Thou must give us also sacrifices, and burnt-offerings, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.
26 Me haere ano a matou kararehe i a matou; e kore tetahi maikuku e mahue; ka tangohia hoki e matou etahi o ena hei mahinga ki a Ihowa, ki to matou Atua; e kore hoki matou e mohio ki ta matou e mahi ai ki a Ihowa, kia tae ra ano ki reira.
Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not a hoof be left behind; for of them must we take to serve the LORD our God; and we know not with what we must serve the LORD, until we come thither.
27 Otiia whakapakeketia ana e Ihowa te ngakau o Parao, a kihai ia i pai ki te tuku i a ratou.
But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go.
28 Na ka mea a Parao ki a ia, Mawehe atu i ahau, kia tupato kei kite koe i toku kanohi a muri ake nei; ko te ra hoki e kite ai koe i toku kanohi, ka mate koe.
And Pharaoh said to him, Depart from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more: for in [that] day thou seest my face, thou shalt die.
29 Ano ra ko Mohi, Ka tika tau korero, heoi ano taku kitenga i tou kanohi ki muri ake nei.
And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see thy face again no more.
